DVD menu problems.

Had quite a few problems with the DVD menu.. basically, its not going to work.

The original idea was to use the buttons on a VCR to navigate through the menu, but using analogue controls into digital is more complicated than planned. Navigation through the menus would of involved first selecting the direction to navigate, then pressing another button to confirm, which would of been a mindfield to control and design in DVD studio, so that was out.

The new plan.

I took photographs of a closeup of the TV in place, so these will be used instead. Now the navigation will be a more conventional menu on screen with overlays through menus.. which is a shame, would of been good to make something work. The TV itself will have some life to it, crackles and hisses like the idents, so hopefully will still work well.
